I know of a bank whose consultants are blithering idiots. The lack of security baffles my mind. My home network is 10 times more secure than
what
I've been told about. :( I'd hate to think that this is fairly common
among
banks but I'm starting to wonder... The only positive thing that has come out of their lack of security is that I know one place not to put any of
my
money. :P
Given your sig, is that 2 times or 10 times more secure? :) I agree, though. I know some banks running 2.4 wireless inside the building. Apparently they aren't aware of the wonderful abilities to kick a mac off, assume it and have instant access to all the shares the original owner had (M$ file sharing trust issue?). When it comes to a bank, any security issue, no matter how small is a major one. Of course, there's probably still a hacker in Russia somewhere enjoying the fruits of CityBank. :) Then again, he may have died of old age by now. Jack Bates Network Engineer BrightNet Oklahoma
